TRÜBNER, Wilhelm
(b. 1851, Heidelberg, d. 1917, Karlsruhe)

The Equestrienne - Ida Görz

1901
Oil on canvas, 169 x 130 cm
Nationalgalerie, Berlin

At his very best Trübner produced arresting, uncompromising likenesses such as the present portrait. In contrast to Trübner's flattering portrayals of riders, Ida Görz is shown with a penetrating, Toulouse-Lautrec-like sharpness of focus and animation.
